Take a look at this lovely three bedroom terrace family home in a popular area of Strood. There is so much on offer here and is perfect for families and commuters alike. You are greeted with an entrance hallway with handy alcove for coats and shoes. The living/dining room is a generous size with dual aspect windows allowing for natural light to flood the room. The kitchen/breakfast room again offers ample space with plenty of cupboard space and even room for all utilities at one end. This area also benefits from a breakfast bar making the room more of a social space. 
Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedrooms one and two are generous doubles with fitted cupboard space and are decorated in modern tones. The third a good sized single, again with a fitted cupboard, currently being used as a home office. The family bathroom has a modern white suite and the WC is currently separate, a usual design for this age of property. This can easily be knocked through to make one full bathroom if this is your preference. 
Externally there is a brick built storage cupboard to the front and block paved driveway for multiple cars; which has been recently cleaned and re-sanded. The rear garden has been landscaped by the current owners in to large, functional tiers. The first offers a spectacular seating area, perfect for BBQ's and the last two have been laid to lawn, the fences have also been recently replaced and painted grey making the garden secure and modern.
If this wasn't enough there is also the potential here to extend the property to the rear, subject to the relevant planning, to create another reception room.
